Only $400 though...maybe buy 2 and make a bino scope?

Yeah I know, was tongue in cheek

Hard to believe eh? The 6" is 400, 8" is 450, 10" is 699 and 12" is 899, all are f4.
The 8, 10 and 12's come with rings (the 6 might too but they aren't mentioned) and the 10 and 12 also have 3" focusers, so can take a Keller/Wynne corrector, which would cost more than the OTA

Thru my research, there are plenty of people getting acceptable images from them, but they're obviously no AGx. You are right, getting them to really shine would be difficult, but as an entry level system, can't be beat!
